Sketching at the Mitchell Park Domes (Holiday Show)

For this meet-up we will be sketching at the Mitchell Park Horticultural Conservatory ("The Domes") on Layton Blvd. in Milwaukee! The conservatory features three main domes, all of which have their own theme - Desert, Tropical, and Floral. They feature a diverse variety of plant-life from around the world.

The Domes will be hosting their annual Holiday Show while we are there - one of the Milwaukee's top winter attractions! A new theme brings a new look each year, but you can expect to find a display featuring poinsettias, chrysanthemums, amaryllis, and other plants as well as a decorated spruce.

The meeting will be held on Saturday, December 7th from 1:30pm to 3:30pm. We will be meeting inside the front entrance past the ticket booth, look for the people holding their sketchbooks. Because the domes are indoors, we will be meeting rain or shine!

There is a $8 admission fee for the Conservatory, $7 if you're a Milwaukee County Resident

**Please do not bring pastels or charcoal to the Domes, the dust can negatively impact the plant life.

What to bring: Please feel free to bring a sketchbook and whatever art supplies you prefer to sketch with, be it pencils, pens, paint, digital tablet, etc. Also be sure to bring money for the admission fee mentioned above.

Parking: The conservatory has a large parking lot so there shouldn't be any issues there, but there is also street parking available.

If you have any further questions, comments, or suggestions, please feel free to message Bryan.
